As a sophomore for the Rebels in 2021 Clowney played in 6 games and took part in 42 snaps for the Rebels. He recorded only 3 tackles, no assists, while adding one stop. As a pass rusher, he chalked up 4 total pressures, and 2 QB hurries, 2 QB hits, and no sacks during the year.

Scouting Report: Strengths
- Clowney has the quickness and flexibility to consistently dip and bend around the edge.
- Stays with blocks and holds up relatively well for his size.
- Clowney has an explosive first step and converts that short-area speed into power, a capable bull rusher.
- Plays with leverage at the point of attack whether inside or outside. Keeps eyes in the backfield when inside; moves linemen to either side with strong hands.
- With his combination of length and flexibility, Clowney can bend and turn the corner around the edge, and he has the closing speed to finish the job.
- He’s a fluid mover in pursuit as well, capable of moving down the line and making plays in pursuit.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- He’s very much a work in progress with his hand in the dirt. Clowney doesn’t play with ideal physicality, often failing to set the edge as a run defender.
- Unless he’s able to add more weight and strength to his frame (at the risk of losing speed and athleticism), he’ll lose more often than he’ll win if Clowney gets caught in the phone booth with NFL linemen.
- He lacks the speed of a chase and- tackle guy. Clowney lacks twitch as a pass rusher and lacks the feet and flexibility to threaten around the edge.
